The Holy Quran 3:30 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

يَوْمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مُّحْضَرًا وَمَا عَمِلَتْ مِن سُوٓءٍ تَوَدُّ لَوْ أَنَّ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهُۥٓ أَمَدًۢا بَعِيدًا ۗ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسَهُۥ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ رَءُوفٌۢ بِٱلْعِبَادِ

Translation

On the day (of Qiyaamah) every soul shall find all the good which it had done present before it (when every person's book of deeds will be presented to him/her). (On that day) It will wish that there is a great distance between it and the evil which it perpetrated. Allaah warns you (to beware) of Himself (His punishment). Allaah is Compassionate towards His bondsmen (and has therefore warned them about these events).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Good and evil deeds will be presented in the Hereafter: that is, on the Day of Resurrection every good and every evil deed will be presented before a person. The record of his deeds for his whole life will be placed in his hand. At that time the criminals will wish: if only this day had remained far away from us!
